I think I'm gonna peel all the sheet metal off & plop an '85 GMC cab from a wreck I just got on there & do a short flat bed.

That item is not right for ebay, I gave it one last try.
the original version had a full inside liner-pretty complicated to fab, that panel was $550.00
I listed it for two yrs there............................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... ............................................... and everyone figured that playing waitout would get them a gone out of business price.
Instead I just discontinued it, No-one I know of will mold custom fiberglass parts at a break even price ~~~~ It Just Aint That Pleasant, ,,,, to put it mildly.
Im not bothering with ignoramouses on ebay any more.
I posted these on most of the F-book blazer groups, I was able to trim $125 off with the new design. if this does not show some return for everything I put into it its gone for good this time.
Parts support for vintage vehicles ABSOLUTELY counts on customer support.
If products do not meet the goals,,
I have to discontinue them.
If someone's truck needs this very versatile accessory, attempting to contact me for help with the needed part later - after I had to go on to something else, I cant help them then.
People who make custom stuff like this . Have to see a return WHEN they bring it out,
Not "maybe someday" that's why most unique parts/ accessories like this don't survive, people's tax return from 2020 --that aint a go deal.
